Hi!

I am looking for a text editor that could be used in order to edit many files at once. i.e add copyright notes or modify parts of code in many files simultaneously.

I would also like it to be able to search inside folder trees for text (php, html, etc) files which contain specific strings or pieces of code.

Any suggestions???

Thanks in advance!

Operating system?

sed is commonly used on Linux, as well as Perl/Ruby/etc (usually one-line scripts).

You can do this with Macromedia dreamweaver

BBEdit / TextWrangler.

What, you're not on OS X?

How about grep? :D

OS I am intersted in is just plain, simple Windows... :blush:

Dreamweaver..? How can this be done with Dreamweacer? Do I need an extension or something similar?

Get a collection of *nix utils for Windows (http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/) and learn to use sed and grep. Then when you switch to linux you won't have to relearn anything :)

tonino, Dreamweaver's search / replace dialogue has a drop-down at the top that lets you choose whether to find / replace in the current document, a selection of documents, the entire current site, or any folder of your choice.

Oh God... this very weird feeling of untold joy & remarkable stupidity at the same time..!

I used to love Dreamweaver, I now love it even more. I just cannot understnad how come I never realised it could perform this kind of task. I am feeling really stupid!

Anyway, thank you all VERY much for your replies and help. :agree:
